Universal Studios Hollywood will unveil Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift this summer, a roller‑coaster that snakes through both the Upper and Lower Lots of the park. Beyond the high‑speed ride, the attraction features a queue built to look like a movie‑stunt workshop, complete with authentic props, QR‑code videos and a showcase of the vehicles that defined the franchise.

Jon Corfino’s “love letter” to stunt coordinators shapes the queue design

Jon Corfino, Vice President of Universal Creative, told a behind‑the‑scenes tour that the goal was to honor the stunt professionals rather than simply dress guests in a movie set. He described the queue as “a love letter to the stunt people and stunt coordinators,” emphasizing real‑world tools like cement pathways marked with burned‑rubber tire tracks that guide visitors into a garage‑style environment.

The queue displays a 1970 Ford Escort Mk1, the car Brian O’Conner drove in Fast & Furious 6, alongside a massive 9,000‑pound bank vault that Dominic Toretto and O’Conner towed through Rio. A hidden pickup truck inside the vault demonstrates the engineering trick used in the film,letting guests see the stunt’s mechanics up close.

QR‑code videos turn waiting time into an interactive stunt‑school

Universal placed QR codes on many props, allowing guests to scan and watch short videos that explain how each stunt was engineered. according to the source, these clips turn the line into “an interactive museum of movie magic,” offering insights from storyboards to on‑set footage .

Dennis McCarthy’s Sun Valley workshop supplies the authentic vehicle replicas

Picture‑car coordinator Dennis McCarthy recreated the replica vehicles in his Sun Valley vehicle‑effects workshop. Among the items are a dirt bike from F9: The Fast Saga, a ramp car that launched vehicles 300 feet into the air, and a Dodge Charger engine fitted with a replica NOS injector system that mimics the franchise’s signature horsepower boost.

What still isn’t clear about the coaster’s technical specs?

The source does not disclose the coaster’s top speed, height or ride duration,leaving enthusiasts to wonder how the physical thrill will match the high‑octane queue experience. Additionally, it is unknown whether the QR‑code content will be updated after the ride opens, or if additional behind‑the‑scenes footage will be added later.
